Contractor EoT claims
are rarely what they seem.

"The difference between a credible delay analysis and an unchallenged claim can be millions of pounds and years of programme."

On complex infrastructure projects, delay claims are rarely straightforward. Contractor-prepared EoT submissions routinely overstate entitlement, misrepresent the critical path, or conceal concurrent contractor-caused delays. Without specialist forensic analysis on your side, those claims go unchallenged — and you pay.

We work exclusively for clients, employers and their legal advisers. Our job is to establish the true delay position, challenge inflated claims, and give you a defensible commercial position — whether in negotiation, adjudication or litigation.

01
Inflated EoT Claims Contractor programmes routinely overstate employer-caused delay and ignore concurrent contractor culpability.
02
Critical Path Manipulation Delay methodologies can be structured to maximise entitlement rather than reflect what actually happened on site.
03
Unassessed CE Quotations NEC compensation event quotations accepted without rigorous time and cost scrutiny erode your commercial position event by event.
04
Programme Opacity Contractor programmes that don't meet contractual requirements give the employer no meaningful visibility or control.

Three ways we protect
your commercial position

All work is delivered on a per-instruction basis — engaged for a specific purpose, on a defined deliverable. No retainer required.

  • Procedural compliance review

  • Clause 31/32 compliance (NEC)
  • Written report with findings
Delivered in 5–10 working days

54-day EoT claim defeated — contractor entitlement reduced to nil

Retained to forensically analyse a contractor EoT claim. Rigorous delay analysis demonstrated that the claimed delays were either contractor-caused, concurrent, or fell within float — defeating the claim in full and protecting the client from significant liquidated damages liability.

£5M / 35-day EoT claim defeated for client

Challenged the contractor's EoT submission on the primary lining and SCL tunnelling contract through forensic critical path analysis. Demonstrated that the true employer-risk delay was materially less than claimed, saving c.£5M and 35 days of EoT exposure.

WSP · Paddington Station Redevelopment

c.£20M+ additional entitlement established via retrospective delay analysis

Forensically analysed the time and cost impact of c.300 change events occurring post-award, establishing a robust and defensible claim for additional client entitlement of approximately £20M.
